I'll admit I have an issue and for some reason out of all the 5th scales I seem to collect 5ives
.
I found this one on ebay and I saw it pass a few auction cycles so I reached out to the seller and asked If he's negotiable. The seller replied back and said make an offer so I did, next thing you know he replied back agreeing to it.
It's a v1 obviously but the paint scheme is different on this one, it has the reversed paint job which makes me wonder if this was a next year type of thing like the 2.0 v2. The truck is very clean aside from the typical scratches on the bottom of the chassis and it's apart now for a deep clean and go over. What I'm going to do with this one I'm not so sure but I may leave it shelved as it's a rarity these days to find a 100% unmolested v1. The guy also gave me the manual and also an unopened bag with the wheel wrench,Allen's, 2 stroke oil which I was surprised at. Not to mention this body is in 100% great condition which is not common.
